Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pounds Lean beef chuck roast
- 1 cup Low sodium beef broth
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 12 Corn tortillas
- 1 cup Salsa
- 0.25 cup Cilantro leaves, chopped

Instructions
Trim any visible fat from the beef chuck roast.
In a slow cooker, add the lean beef, low sodium beef broth, diced onion, minced garlic, chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Cover and cook on low for approximately 6-8 hours or until the beef becomes tender and can be easily shredded with a fork.
Once the beef is done, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and mix it with the juices; let it heat on low for another 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Meanwhile, warm the corn tortillas on a non-stick skillet or in the oven until they are pliable.
Assemble the tacos by placing approximately 2-3 tablespoons of the shredded beef onto each corn tortilla.
Top the beef with salsa and chopped cilantro.
Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for an added burst of flavor when squeezed over the top.
